EARL: The world’s leading lubricants database
The key to OATS’ customer and technical solutions is the world's most comprehensive and versatile lubricant recommendation database, EARL (Equipment And Recommended Lubricants).
Over the past 25 years, the EARL database has grown and developed, and now contains over 70,000 pieces of equipment and lubricant recommendations relating to almost 500,000 compartments. EARL data covers a wide range of sectors including motorbikes and cars; commercial vehicles; agricultural vehicles; off-highway vehicles and equipment; and industrial equipment and machinery.
To meet the challenge of the continually changing and evolving nature of lubes data and OEM requirements, we've developed the exclusive OATS Global Updating System (GUS). This enables timely addition and access to the latest OEM specifications. By following proven ISO 9001:2000 quality procedures, GUS ensures the recommendations data you source is always the most accurate and up-to-date possible.
Make, buy or partner?
Organisations could do this themselves, but choose not to. Even the largest lubricants companies are choosing to concentrate on their core skills, realising the most efficient, effective and economic databse solution is to partner with a specialist, such as OATS.
